INTRODUCTION
Hello! Can you tell already that the era of "vintage" is a considerable source of inspiration for me?
On these pages, I explain how the past has influenced my
present and future, and suggest how to use this book to plan your own vintage-style party.

NEW YEAR'S EVE TEA PARTY
To end your year on a high note and start the next as you mean to go on, look no further -
that is, if you intend to go on in decadence, glamour, indulgence... This chapter showcases
my most fabulous New Year's Eve party ideas, so that you can give the event the attention it
deserves, then let your hair down in style (or go for an uber-elegant vintage up-do perhaps?).

CHILDREN'S TEA PARTY
Roll up, roll up! Who doesn't love the circus, what with its bright colours, crazy costumes and
giddy, gleeful sense of fun? The spirit of the circus plus yummy treats dreamed up in kiddy
heaven equals a spectacular party to live on in the memories of kids and grown-up kids alike!

COMING OF AGE TEA PARTY
When a girl comes of age, it's definitely something worth celebrating. And a young lady should
begin womanhood in a sassy dress with a chic hair-do, wearing a lady-like pair of gloves in
which to raise her mocktail glass as she shares a toast to her glorious life ahead.

TEA FOR TWO
Love is in the air (and in the hair...). Whether it's for Valentine's Day, or for any
day on which your passions are running high, my suggestions for how to
romance the man in your life are sure to make him swoon!

HEN TEA PARTY
When a treasured girlfriend leaves the single life behind, it's time to pull out all the
stops. This party must be momentous, and the name of the game is sheer
indulgence, naughtiness and uproarious fun. Bring a touch of the cabaret
to your night of decadence and it's bound to be fabulous!
